These have been out for a while, make sure you cut is clean and square and inserted all the way in, if not they will leak and come apart. Only thing I don't like are the are a time use product. Shark bites are the same idea but usable on copper and hardlines and they have the ability to be removed. New technology is making sprinkler installs and repairs so much quicker.

of coarse i seen them AFTER i plumbed my new system...

I tried them on my 180 and had nothing but drips on my return side, this same exact company. No matter what I did there was always a slight drip coming from somewhere. I dont think a sprinkler has the same pressure our pumps put out cause when Id turn the flow down the drips would stop, but I had to turn it down so much there was very little return to the tank, they just didnt seem to work for the application.

rated up to 200 PSI, Most sprinkler systems run 60-80PSI and runs out between 12-18 Gal per Min. I have used these on back flows and main lines without a issue or a leak. Just like everything prep and cleanliness is the key.

I have not used the Home Depot PVC ones however, I still like the Glue. It smells good.

I would be worried that the metal parts would degrade with the salt water and leech metals into the sump or break down after a short period and drop the connection.
